Yoga Philosophy and Embodying the Yoga Sutras

What is yoga? And what are the philosophies that form the foundation of both yoga and ayurveda? In this course, we will explore yoga in the context of the shad darshan, or six traditional schools of Indian philosophy, that are recognized and utilized in yoga & ayurvedic teachings. We will take a close look at the Yoga Sutras, and explore yogic practices as a spiritual pursuit. These philosophical teachings will not only provide the foundations of Indian philosophy, but will transform the way you see yourself and the world around you.
